My 1st Attempt at Crochet Braids!...Pix!

Thanks Ladies!

It's funny, my mom who is the pickiest person in the world when it comes to mine and DD's hair actually loves them. Big shock there.

Okay so, I've seen a couple of threads of people who have done their own crochet braids, and their results were gorgeous! So I resolved it within myself to give it a try.

After viewing a few YouTube videos I set out and bought my supplies. Then I politely told DD that she would be my guinea pig. She was like, "what else is new?"

So, I washed her hair with Hair One Olive Oil cleanser. Then I applied Silicone Mix deep condish and sat her under the steamer for an hour while I watched a few more tutorials. While her hair was still damp, I moisturized each section with Organic Olive Oil moisturizer and braided thirteen cornrows. Then I sat down and went to work.

Without further adieu...


The back isn't crooked, she had her head tilted to the side.


All in all, I think this was a great first attempt! I shocked myself with how well they turned out. DD loves them! It took me about 6 hours (because I was...and I'm still sick as a dog).

I think I'd like to be pampered and have someone else do them for me.

Looks Great!!! You are a pro on your first try!!
